Purchased from an Audi dealership in Indianapolis. 29k miles and loaded using a BMW Vin decoder. Manual!!! Searching for months for an R59 but beyond my $$. Found this one with a clean carfax and got the service records from a local Mini dealer. Greyhound it to Indy and drove the car back. Ditching the runflats for regular tires from Tirerack and got the racing stripe done today to make the car less "cute". No regrets!!!

Welcome to NAM.

Only thing better than a MINI is a MINI Vert. Any pictures??????

Head SE and tryout the Back of the Dragon, the Snake and the Tail of the Dragon. Then decide whether the car is cute or just awesome.

Thank you! Are you guys not seeing my pics I uploaded in the first post???

BTW, the regular tires have changed the ride like night and day from the rock hard run-flats!

Congrats on your new to you 2013 Mini vert!
Welcome to the NAM family! Lots of fun to come for you now!
First thing I do with all of my Minis, is to remove the run flats and put in a 12volt portable compressor and a tire repair kit!
Run flats are wheel bearing/ suspension killers! Approved by Fred Flintstone!
